Prenatal Screening
MONITORING YOU AND BABY
Throughout pregnancy, certain screening tests help us monitor both your health and your baby’s development. These tests provide valuable information about genetic conditions and common pregnancy-related concerns, allowing your provider to offer guidance, answer questions, and ensure you receive the best possible care.
GENETIC SCREENING
The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology has resources to help you decide whether and which testing is for you. We have included the link below to help you understand, and we would love to discuss this further at your next visit.
ACOG Prenatal Genetic Screening
Screening for Gestational Diabetes is routinely performed between 24 and 28 weeks.This test, also known as the Glucose Challenge test, is a blood test with very specific instructions. You will be given a drink called a Glucola in advance of your appointment. Glucola is very sweet and may be better tolerated if chilled prior to drinking. You do not need to fast before this test, but we encourage you to avoid sweet or carbohydrate-heavy food for the two hours before you drink the Glucola.
